Now if only they gave me a real 2FA option that doesn't actually decrease security. So they made a fancy app where I need to confirm PC logins with a 5 digit pin. But the same app is also their official banking app and lets me do everything with my account, all with the same 5 digit pin. I don't even need to enter the credentials necessary on the PC. This is what you get when the government tries to mandate security.

The NIST actually has great guidelines for digital identity authentication: * https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63-3.html https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63-3.html Don't blame the government -- they outlined an ideal way to do it on many levels of need. Blame the specific people who implemented that specific system.
